What the published format says

There is no single national 11+ paper. GL Assessment explains that local authorities and schools choose which subjects to test and the balance of question types. For 2028-entry preparation, Warwickshire describes a shared test with two papers of about 60 minutes each, covering English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Buckinghamshire also uses two papers, but groups its content differently. Our two 60-minute challenge groups are independent practice estimates, not official paper replicas or admission-score predictions.

How Homework Magic practises it

Homework Magic now includes fourteen paid common four-subject mocks plus the free diagnostic. Earlier common papers (A–J) are shorter 45–50-minute practice. Challenge Mocks K–N contain 64 questions each and use two 60-minute practice groups, with original English comprehension, multi-step Maths, verbal deductions and visual reasoning. These are general skills papers suitable for 2028 entry, not a claim that every school uses the same structure.

Important: Homework Magic questions are original independent practice. They are not official papers, and we do not reproduce confidential or copyrighted live-test questions.
